We ended August by spending the day at Wild West Town with friends. We had tried to plan an event for scouts there, but kept being rejected, so we decided to just go ourselves. It was a really fun time.
Getting in the cowboy mood in the gift shop.
Holding the new Georgie Pig I bought for her after she first tried to steal him by walking out of the gift shop without paying.
First stop was the tepee and the Conestoga wagon.
Next, the kids took a spin on the hand carts. Even Charlotte was able to maneuver all the way around the track by herself.
We caught a live show. It was pretty corny, but I suppose that's how they are supposed to be.
We tried our hand at slingshots and mining for gold. They were each given a pouch upon entry and got to keep any of the fool's gold they found.
The kids' favorite part was the little canoe ride and the roller coaster.
The roller coaster was so rickety I thought it would fall apart, but they weren't very far off the ground, so I wasn't
too worried.
CeCe and I rode it a few times too.
We also did some shot gun and arrow shooting and rode the ponies.
CeCe looks like such a natural on her horse and this was the perfect opportunity to wear her cowboy boots.
To cap off the day, we stopped for some candy in the candy store and CeCe got her face painted.
It was a great day in the wild west with friends.
